"I'm still not sure," Biden told Politico and The Washington Post in a joint interview when asked if this is like a Trump moment.

"So I don't doubt that Trump moment. And, what is always the case in primaries, the most conservative and liberal elements of each party have a larger say than they do in the electoral process overall," Biden observed.
"Well, Rubio, if he were a little sm-well, Marco Rubio could, but he missed it so far. That's why you see him now lurching towards Morning in America," he added.
